THE OLDEST MULE ON EARTH.

GAINESVILLE, Nov. 25.-Staf-
ford, Va, some days ago, gave to
the world the story of a mule SAID
to be fifty.one years old. To some
this story seemed unreasonable.
but to the people OF Lloyd county,
who are acquainted with "Aunt
Nancy HOnaker and the old mule"
there IS nothing wonderful in 1t.
Mrs. Honaker gives the mules
age at seventy.three years and the
animal, she says, and so do Dumer-
GUS other old inhabitants here, il
very we'll known to have been a
resident of this State over sixty
years. He is an importation from
Virginia, and may be a brother Of
the Stafford mule. No one knows
how old he was when he emigrated
from the Old Dominion. 1.-The old
mule" had considerable reputation
as a traveller before The war, hav.
ing, it is said, done service over
several States, and of bis war his.
tory many mysterious stories are
whispered about. But the days OF
the old mules usefulness are not
yet of the past, as he yet does good
service in the buggy aud under the
saddle, not being subjected to
mental service in the pillow and
wagon. "The old mule" is today
hearty, and bids fair olive out the
limit fixed for man, if be has not
already passed the period of three
score years and ten.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
FEEDING HOGS.

1t is the fact that it is productive
Of evil results to feed swine too
much as il is to feed them too little.
Some people seem to entertain the
idea that the only purpose TO be
sought in iattening animals or in
feeding them for growth is to stuff
them, though moment OF thought
will show plainly enough that
stufling means a Generalization OF
the digestive apparatus. 1t is a
rule often LAID down and it is a
good one that animals should never
be fed more than they will eat mp
clean; and if feeding always re.
celved the attention that it should,
that would always be the plan.-
But our imperfect ideas and sys.
tens are very apt to be the result
of thOughtlessness. Starting with
the idea that corn makes fat, and
that the more corn we feed the
more fat we will get, we shovel the
corn before the hog and let it gorge
itself. 1t is true that the more
corn we feed the more fat we will
have, provided the digestive func'
tions take care OF 1t. If they do
not, the stomach is overloaded and
an overloaded stomach means
trouble to q greater or less degree.
1t is to prevent this that we should
always am, whether we are feed
ing for fat or bone and MUSCLE
Profit in meat production means
economy in feeding. 1t we lose an
ear of corn either by having it
trod under foot and into the DIRT,
in consequence of feeding more
than the hogs will eat, or if we
waste it by overlooking the stom'
ach, destroying or impalrlng diges'
ton, and thus preventing the sys-
tenn from utilizing what is con-
sumed, it Is so much off the profit,
and while one ear of corn may not
amount to much a good many ears
amount to a great deal. Columns
have been written 70 shOv how the
price of corn may be raised by
feeding swine, and it is always in.
teresting reading to the swine
breeder and feeder But it is no
trouble at all to figure ont the
profit or loss of profit ola bushel
of corn that is wasted.
The herd should be carefully
watched all through the fattenlng
period. The rnle so often l
down by The Rural and StO' nan
we again state: Do not fee too
heavily when the tattening process
is begun, and, By the way, that
ought to have been begun, and
generally has been before this time.
Feed lightly at first and gradually
increase the amount; and when
the hogs have become accustomed
to full feed, feed them all that they
will eat and no more. Give them
good, clean food, and feed on q
clean floor. Never act upon the
notion that the hog Is naturally
filthy. The animal will eat filth,
but it likes clean food as we'll as
any Western Rurdl.

THE FATTHD CALF.
IT Is KILLED THE DAY BEFORE
THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL.

1T is KILLED THE DAY BEFORE
THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL.
The colored people have been
holding a camp meeting more than
a week near IlillsbOrOugh, ILL.,, and
it has lately been largely attended.
Elder Jackson, 20 years OLD, is the
leader and controlling spirit, and
to him is due the conception and
carrying out Of the affair in which
the great camp meeting eliminated.
This was the enactment yesterday
and today Of scenes illustrating
the Biblical parable of the prodigal
son.
Yesterday was the time set for
the killing Of the fatted calf.
Shortly after two o'clock the uncOn-
scious victim OF the sacrifice was
led 10 the place of execution. 1t
was spotted calf about two months
old. a portly butcher, who had
done much similar service, stood
ready, sharpening huge butchers
knife. The cOlored members Of the
meeting congregated on the grand
stand and cOnsoled the trembling
victim by singing "Fear not trem-
bling one, it is l." and while the
singing progressed the butcher
took his axe and disposed Of the
victim, and in few moments the
life blood was streaming out Oh the
sacrifcial altar. AS the last death
thrOes Of the animal ceased the
chief started up the tune, 81 will
walk through the gates Of the city,"
to which the portly butcher decapi-
tated the sacrifice and made it
ready to serve its future use.
The next scene was enacted this
afternoon, when the prodigal son
returned. 1t was witnessed by an
immense throng of people, white
and black. A few minutes before
three o'clock a blast on an old
plantation dinner horn warned the
assembled multitude tha5somethIDg
was abOut to happen. AS the
echoes died away the procession OF
soldiers marched upon the raised
platform. After the singing of sew
eral hymns Elder Jackson arose
and deli vered a sermon on the
prodigal son. At the conclusion
of the sermon several of the elders
made mysterious motions with their
hands, as if reckoning to some one (;
but the prodigal son, concealed
behind some shrubbery in some
distant field, had forgotten his cue,
and it was not until the white.hair-
ed Elder Jackson seized the dinner
horn and blew loud, long blast
that the prodigaI realized that 1t
was time for him to appear.
All eyes were turned toward the
( field, and, as Elder Jackson ceased
blowing, the prodlgal was seen APP
preaching. He wore a ragged red
coat. and his garments were literal
IL i'm tatlers. He enacted his role
well, and when the fond and feeble
old father rushed down from the
raised platform and ran to meet the
prodigal the scene was emotional.
After some sensational shouting
and singing and praying the fatted
calf, which had been killed yester-
day and roasted to-day, was served
out with great hunks of bread, and
the two thousand people present
feasted, the returned prodigal hold
ing a post CT honor.
